All Japan rally championship “Kumakogen Rally 2022″
2022.05.18 
Location: Kumakogen, Ehime, Japan
Date: Apr. 29, 2022 – May. 1, 2022
The race is just after returning from Croatia, can they show us the world driving skill?!
At Kuma Kogen, the stage near the top of mountain, not only the condition of the machines but also the
condition of drivers is important. Driver Mr. Fukunaga, who had just returned from Croatia, challenged DAY1
after getting his lungs in good condition by running early in the morning. However, he struggled with tire
selection and was unable to drive the way he wanted in the first half of the day, his condition was gradually
getting better and set the top time in the final SS of the day.
“We can’t finish in the 2nd place!!” Co-driver Ms. Saida, who had been together in Croatia, encouraged him.
DAY2 would consist of only two SS, each 21.66km long.
In SS7, they closed the gap of the top team, and adjusted rear stabilizer after that in order to win the race.
In the final SS8, they chased hard, however, his front right tire burst at the half distance remaining.
He missed the champion, but finished in the 2nd place!!
Next, we are looking forward to seeing their performance at Tango, Kyoto, the hometown of Mr. Fukunaga!!
